the drought should prevail throughout
all the great wheat region the conse-
quences would be calamitous. And
yet if every farmer in Arson County
would plant five acres of wheat and
manure it properly we could get along
very we'll if there was not a bushel OF
wheat raised in the great West.--
There will be a celebration at Rocky
River Springs on the 4th Of July.
Three thousand people are expected
to be present. Preparations are being
made to make Of it a magnificent af-
fair. Rev. H. w. Battle of Wades-
boro, Rev. MI Rome Of Albemarle ID.
A. Covington Esq, of Monroe, and
Rev. G.. A. Martin will deliver
speeches on the occasion. Music by a
brass band, and a most enjoyable time
may reasonably be anticipated.
Wilmington Revsew: At about half
past l o'clock this afternoon, during
the prevalence of the thunder storm, the
house of Mrs. G.. L.. Rush orner of
Sixth and Orange streets, was stricken
by lightning, and about Is e e on d
Southeast corner was torn out and a
large portion of the plastering in the
house was blown down. The boards
from the house were scattered in every
direction about her yard and even into
the adjoining yard of Mr.. A. S. Heide
Mrs. Rush was the only person in the
house at the time, and she fortunately
escaped uninjured. A boy and a goat
we're under the house and the latter
was slightly crippled. The electric
fluid then entered the yard Of MI. A:
S. Heide and tore up his flower gar
den, injured his cistern and burnt the
tin cutters to a part of his house, but
did no further damage. It was fortu-
nate that no one was injured as there
were several persons in the immediate
vicinity at the time.

Some good farmers in this neigh
borhood have little or no stock, but
prefer to cart manure from neighbor-
ing towns and cities. This process,
although an expensive one, the aver
age price of manure in cities being 81
a cord, is probably much better than
the system pursued by too many Of
feeding poor cows on expensive rations
of grain improperly compounded.
Nevertheless good COWS we'll fed, with
a fair market for milk and cream, will
give a more economical manure
product than can be gained by any
method which involves moving ma
nure by team or rail from 10 to 20
miles.-W. F. Kinsman, Essex county,
Mass, in Farm and Home.

OUR BOYS.
BY l., d. S. SPALDING.

Yes. I know there are stains on my carpet,
The traces of small muddy boots:
And I see your fair tapestry glowing,
All ~spotless with blossoms and fruits.
And I know that my walls are disfigured
With prints of small fingers and hands,,
And that your own household most truly
In immaculate purity stands.
And I know hat my parlOr is Uttered,
With many old treasures and toys,
While your own is in daintiest order,
Unframed by the presence of boys.
And | know that my room is invaded
Quite boldly at all hours of the day,
While you sit in yours unmOlested,
And dream the soft quiet away.
Yes. I know there are four little bedsides
Where | must stand watchful each night,
While you go out in your carriage,
And flash in your dresses SO bright.
Now. I think I'm a neat little woman,
/ like my house orderly too,
And I'm fond of all dainty belongings,
Yet 1 would not change places with you.
No keep your fair home with it's order,
Its freedom from bother and noise,
And keep your own ~fanciful leisure,
But give me my four splendid boys!

Wrought Iron Ranges!

Years Of experience and practical tests
have demonstrated the superiority OF
wrought iron ranges over all other kinds
of ranges or cooking stoves, on account
Of their greater durability, larger cooking
capacity, easy management, certainty OF
operation, and solid economy in use OF
fuel. In all these points the
